Κάλλατις, πολίχνιον ἐν τῇ παραλίᾳ τοῦ Πόντου, Στράβων ἑβδόμῃ. ὡς κάλαθος εὑρέθη ἐοικὼς τοῖς θεσμοφοριακοῖς. ὁ πολίτης Καλλατιανός, ὡς Τραλλιανός Σαρδιανός· ἀφ´ οὗ Ἴστρος Καλλατιανὸς περὶ τραγῳδίας γράψας καλὸν βιβλίον. ἔοικε δ´ εἶναι ἀπὸ τοῦ Καλλατία ὡς Ὀλβιανός, εἰ μὴ ἀπὸ τῆς ἰωνικῆς γενικῆς γέγονε τῆς Καλλάτιος.

Kallatis: a small city on the coast of the Black Sea. Strabo, book 7. Since a basket similar to that which is ‘Thesmophorian’ was found there. A citizen is a 'Kallatianos', as per Istros Kallatianos who wrote a fine book about tragedy. It looks like it is from 'Kallatia'; unless it has emerged from the Ionic genitive 'Kallatios'.
